Seriously, when shopping for a slip, get any one you can find!

I've got a lopsided slip, one foot on the starboard side, and 208 feet on port. I had to get it that big so I could manuever in with a full keel and a cross wind. A little overkill for a 15' 4" beam. One thing, I don't have to worry about is which side the dock steps are on or where the dock lines are. Let's see, it's called an "end-tie"

Wow, an amateur liar doesn't have a chance..

18" No Way!!! I'd have to fold it in half..

Why is it, that when things go bad, it's said, "That went South."

Fair winds,

Bill

Is that what it is over there???eheheheheheh talk about "minorities"

Some of your "companions" have mentioned that your perception of 18" was more like 3" !!!!
